Model C Maintenance

Daily

Wipe monorail with a cloth or non-abrasive scouring pad after use. You can use soap and water or any glass cleaner. Do not use mineral acids, bleach or coarse abrasives.

Every 50 hours of use (weekly for institutional users)

Clean and lubricate the chain with Concept2 Chain Oil (a purified mineral oil), 20W motor oil, or 3-in-1 oil. Use 1 teaspoon of oil on paper towel. Rub along entire length of chain. Wipe off excess. Repeat if needed.

Every 250 hours of use (monthly for institutional users)

  1. Inspect chain for stiff links. If thorough lubrication does not help, the chain should be replaced.
  2. Inspect chain-handle connection for wear. If the hole has become elongated, or the U-bolt is worn halfway through, the entire connection should be replaced.
  3. Tighten the shock cord if the handle does not return all the way to the fan enclosure. See the  Shock Cord Adjustment PDF.
  4. Check the socket screws used to install the front leg for tightness.
  5. Loosen or tighten the nuts on the Performance Monitor arm joints as necessary. See the  Performance Monitor Arm Tension Adjustment PDF.
  6. Check for dust inside flywheel with flashlight. Vacuum if needed. See the  Flywheel Opening and Cleaning PDF.

Approximately every 800 hours of use

Replace batteries in the Performance Monitor (PM2). The PM2 uses 2 AA Batteries. See the  Battery Removal and Replacement PDF. Note: The monitor is a sealed unit. Do not take it apart. Any attempt to disassemble the monitor will void warranty. Contact Concept2 for problems with this part.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE

Use of this machine with a worn or weakened part, such as the chain, sprockets, swivel connector or shock cord, may result in injury to the user. When in doubt about the condition of any part, Concept2 strongly advises that it be replaced immediately. Use only genuine Concept2 parts.
